look at the 1880 Minnesota census entry for Henry Putnam and Harriet Brown in
McLeod County. You will see him listed as a grandson. Henry only had one son,
Gordon Winslow Putnam, who was also in that entry and widowed. Kid would be
his, but no idea as to the wife. Gordon was by himself in 1870 too. So he got married
around 1872 had Harry and the wife died before 1880.
This has been confirmed by a descendant of his son Harry Gordon Putnam, Jr.
Gordon was by himself in 1870 too. So he got married around 1872 had Harry and
